In addition to the following terms and definitions, the relevant terms and definitions in JJF 1034-2005 and the quantities and units specified in GB/T3102.7-1993 are applicable to this specification. 3.1 Reference pointreferencepoint
When the subject is in the test position of the sound field, the midpoint of the straight line connecting the two ear canal openings of the subject. 3.2 Reference axisreference axis
The axis perpendicular to the radiation surface of the loudspeaker. For a single radiator or horn loudspeaker, the axis passes through the geometric center of the diaphragm or horn. For a composite sounder, the position of the axis is specified by the manufacturer. 4 Overview
An audiometric room is a room used for testing the hearing of subjects. Its walls are made of sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials and grids, so that the boundaries can effectively absorb the incident sound. The background noise in the audiometric room should be kept low enough to avoid the background noise in the listening room masking the test sound signal. When using headphones, bone vibrators or field devices to send test sound signals for audio-visual purposes, the allowable value of the background noise should be specified according to different sound generation methods so that it does not affect the hearing test of the subjects. When using a sound device to send test signals for audiometry, the requirements of the sound field in the audiometric room should be considered. 5 Metering characteristics
5,1 Background noise sound pressure level
The background noise sound pressure level in the audiometry room shall not exceed certain specified values ​​that will mask the test signal. The requirements for the background noise sound pressure level in the audiometry room depend on the way the audiometry signal is sent, that is, whether the audiometry signal is sent via headphones, bone vibrators or loudspeakers.
When the audiometry signal is sent by earphones for air conduction audiometry, the maximum background noise sound pressure level allowed in the audiometry room shall not exceed the provisions of Table 1.

Note: The data listed in the table are for the minimum hearing threshold level to be measured, which is B. The maximum uncertainty caused by the background noise of the audiometry room is 2 dB. If the maximum uncertainty caused by the allowable background noise is 5 dB, then the value in the table can be increased by 8 dB. If the minimum hearing level to be measured is not 0 dB, the value in Table 1 can be added to the corresponding minimum hearing level to be measured. For example, if the minimum hearing threshold level to be measured is -10 dB, the maximum background noise level allowed in the audiometry room should also be reduced by 10 dB accordingly.

If the maximum uncertainty caused by the allowable background noise is 5 dB, the value in the table can be added with 8dB. If the minimum listening level to be measured is not 0dB, the value in Table 2 can be added with the corresponding minimum listening level to be measured. 5.1.2 When a loudspeaker is used to send audiometric signals for audiometric testing, the maximum allowable background noise sound pressure level in the audiometric room should not exceed the prescribed level of 3.

If the maximum uncertainty caused by the background noise is allowed to be 5 dB, the value in the table can be added with B, Note 2: When narrow-band noise is used as the test signal, the maximum allowable background noise sound pressure level should be appropriately lower than the value given in Table 3.
If the minimum hearing threshold level to be measured is not UdB, the value in Table 3 can be added with the corresponding minimum hearing level to be measured. 5.2 Sound field characteristics
